Proverbs 23:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ For the ^(A)heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And ^(B)drowsiness will clothe one with rags.

^22 (C)Listen to your father who begot you,
And ^(D)do not despise your mother when she is old.
^23 (E)Buy truth, and do not sell it,
Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.
